The Equipment is to be collected by the Hirer from the Owner’s business premises and returned to the same address on the completion of the hire. Hire commences at time of collection and is deemed to continue until the Equipment is received back by the Owner. No allowance will be made for inclement weather or any other reason whatsoever beyond the Owner’s control.

When Equipment is delivered by the Owner in the absence of the Hirer or his representative, the Hire Document shall be forwarded to the Hirer’s address and deemed to be conclusive proof of delivery of the Equipment listed thereon in good clean working order.

The Hirer shall not misuse the Equipment. Equipment must be returned in the same condition as supplied (except for fair wear and tear), otherwise a charge for cleaning, reconditioning, renewing or replacing, will be made as considered necessary by the Owner.
